Is it depressing because someone with a Ph.D. in math is playing the lottery, or depressing because she must've have figured out something we don't know, given that she's won four times?
The former. It is also depressing because it can be used in articles on the lottery in the following way, "See look at this person good at maths, playing the lottery, that must mean it is a smart thing to play the lottery".
Depressing because someone with a Ph.D. in math is playing the lottery. I don't see any reason to think she figured out some way of beating the lottery.
